The snake's shadow, by: Yusuf Zidan

This novel narrates the transformations of the image of the woman in our culture. It tells the process of the image, and its becoming from the perspective of the sacred woman to the labyrinths of the defiled women. The novel does not intend to belittle or diminish the significance of those successive cultures falsely and falsely called Semitic, but it presents the Semitic woman, in terms of her being defiled by the Semitic. It aims to encourage rediscovery of the self and to correct the concept of humanity and the image of women. Youssef Zidan, a writer and researcher specializing in Arab heritage and manuscripts, was born in Sohag in southern Egypt in 1958. He has many publications and scientific researches in Islamic thought, Sufism, the history of medicine and sciences among Arabs, and library cataloging, approaching fifty books and eighty research papers. This is his first novel. Number of pages: 185.
